Only Been a Minute
Love Unspoken: Anthony Juarez's Melodic Tale of a Minute's Courage
Lyrics
Hey I see you over there
Observing someone across the room.
Playin' with you hair
Noticing the person playing with their hair.
Lookin' at me from a far
Being looked at by the person from a distance.
You see me sittin' over here
Being seated and noticed by the person.
Sippin' on a beer
Sipping on a beer while staring at the person.
Starin' at you from across the bar
Maintaining eye contact across the bar.
If I got the nerve to walk your way
Considering approaching the person.
Im not sure what I'd say or what I'd do
Uncertain about what to say or do.
But the words that would come outta my mouth would sound somethin' like I love you
Imagining expressing love if approached.
And it's only been a minute
Reflecting on a short period since noticing the person.
So just give me one date
Expressing a desire for a date.
No don't make me wait cause by the time I'm through
Not wanting to wait for the date.
I'm gonna make you say I love you too
Anticipating reciprocation of love after the date.
And it's only been a minute
Reiterating the short time since initial attraction.
Well I put down my beer check my hair in the mirrior
Checking appearance in the mirror before approaching.
And started walkin' your way
Taking steps towards the person.
With every footstep that I took
Contemplating what to say with each step.
I was going over what I was gonna say
Planning the conversation while walking.
When I got to you I realized
Realizing a deviation from the planned approach.
That my plan was quickly headin' south
Encountering difficulties in expressing words.
Cause although I tried
Struggling to articulate feelings.
I just couldn't get the words to come out of my mouth
Failing to verbalize intentions.
And it's already been a minute
Reflecting on the elapsed time without communication.
And I ain't said a damn thing
Regret for not speaking during the elapsed minute.
Ya i walked over here to buy you a drink
Attempting to buy a drink for the person.
And now I just can't say anything
Experiencing difficulty in speaking.
And it's already been a minute
Not being able to express feelings within a minute.
Well since that day
Reflecting on relationships that have come and gone.
Girls have come and girls have gone
Difficulty moving on from the person.
And although I've tried
Continued struggles in moving forward emotionally.
I Just can't seem to make myself move on
Expressing a desire to see the person again.
So I hope that I
Hopeful about encountering the person.
See you tonight
Expressing a wish to meet the person again.
And if I do here's what I'll say
Planning what to say if encountering the person.
I'm not dumb but the cat had my tongue when I say you the other day
Acknowledging difficulty in speaking when first seen.
Ya I'm no fool but to tell you the truth
Asserting intelligence but acknowledging speech difficulty.
From the moment you caught my eye
Immediate attraction upon seeing the person.
I knew I couldn't live without your love
Expressing the importance of the person's love.
So tonight I gotta get this right
Feeling a need to get things right with the person.
And it's only been a minute
Reflecting on the brief time since attraction began.
So just give me one date
Expressing a desire for a prompt date.
No don't make me wait cause by the time I'm through
Impatience for reciprocated love after the date.
I'm gonna make you say I love you too
Anticipating mutual expressions of love after the date.
And it's only been a minute
Reiterating the short time since initial attraction.
